With the announcement of India`s squad for Gautam Gambhir`s inaugural series as head coach, significant transformations are already underway, underscored by Gambhir`s influential presence in the selection process.
The appointment of Suryakumar Yadav, formerly Gambhir`s deputy at Kolkata Knight Riders, as captain of the T20I squad, and the removal of 2024 World Cup vice-captain Hardik Pandya from all leadership roles signals the former India opener`s assertive imprint on team captaincy. Jasprit Bumrah, on the other hand, is slated for a prolonged break, contrasting with the return of Shreyas Iyer to the ODI fold despite his absence from the BCCI central contract list.
